    Wow, nice work! Where did you get your experience? Do you work with metal casting? It doesn't seem like a very simple hobby! ...or cheap!

    its not I have done some aluminum casting. Melting the metal is simple. Making the molds is the hard part. For the most part I've used sand casting and once even carved the sand into the item I was making. Fun but not for everyone.

    I had to use this keyboard instead of the previous one because of some technical causers. I use the metal buttons as I make them.

    Looking good :thumb: Should look AWESOME once the actual board is done.

    Does the extra weight make the keys feel different?

    I'm curious what equipment you use to form and cast the keys, but also what kind of foundry rig you are using to melt SS.

    Holy cr@p. That'll be the most amazing keyboard I've ever seen.

    Filimon, do you plan on painting the letters on those keys? It'll be difficult to distinguish them otherwise...
